FORE.WOR.D 


"Knowledge  is  power."  It  has  been  said 
that  there  are  two  kinds  of  knowledge,  the 
one  to  know  facts  and  the  other  to  know 
where  to  find  facts.  The  object  of  this 
publication  is  to  enable  the  prospective 
home  builder  to  find  facts  which  are  equiv- 
alent in  this  case  to  knowing  facts;  to  put 
in  the  hands  of  the  intending  builder  the 
power  of  knowledge  -  knowledge  cf  what 
constitutes  good  plans,  design  and  con- 
struction, and  a  sati^actcry  whole  in  a 
modern  home.        ^' 

The  knowledge  contained  between  the 
two  covers  of  this  book  represents  an  out- 
lay of  thousands  upon  thousands  of  dol- 
lars in  time  and  money  and  embodies  the 
best  thoughts  and  ideas  obtainable  in  the 
matter  of  modern  home  building. 

Books  and  pamphlets  along  this  general 
line  have  been  published  from  time  to 
time  by  theorists,  publishers  and  cheap - 
plan  concerns  but  it  has  been  the  pleasure 
of  the  compiler  of  this  work  to  place  in 
the  hands  of  the  public  for  the  first  time 
a  practical  and  understandable  work  con- 
taining the  finished  ideas  of  a  practicing 
architect  of  high  rank  in  his  profession.

THE  BKST  METHOD  OF  PROCEDIRE. 

From    this    valuable    compact    pocket-size    plan-book    of 

nearly  fifteen  liiuulred  plans,  the  averajre  home-builder  can 
certainly  select  a  satisfactory  anrl  ine.\|tensive  stock  plan, 
which  with  perhai)s  slight  chanj^es.  will  meet  every  require- 
ment. If  you  do  not  find  such  a  plan,  you  can  from  some 
of  the  plans  in  this  book,  at  least  explain  your  desires  t»y 
simply  referriufi^  to  portions  of  one  plan  and  portions  of 
another,  or  perhaps  better,  take  the  onion-skin  paper  wrap- 
I)er  of  this  book  and  simply  trace  the  plan  wanted,  with 
such  chaiij;es  desired  and  from  this  we  can  j;et  your  ideas 
and  draw  a  preliminary  plan,  for  a  nominal  charjfe  of  $.j.(Ri, 
and   thus   jj:et   a   complete   and   satisfactory   arrangement. 

Preliminary  j)lans  enable  you  to  secure  reasonably  close 
bids  from  local  builders.  With  such  sugj^estions  as  are  con- 
tained in  these  preliminary  plans  and  such  further  pencil 
notations  as  you  may  make,  we  are  enabled  to  make  final 
or  cumi)lete  working  plans,  which  give  full  information  and 
superintending  guidance  to  your  builder. 

The  average  home-builder  of  to-day  is  aware  of  the  im- 
portance of  regularly-drawn  e<'onomically-detailed  archi- 
tect's plans,  and  it  is  impossible  to  dissuade  them.  The 
owner  knows  that  two  heads  are  better  than  one,  especially 
the  architect,  who  in  fact  is  the  owner's  only  unbiased 
counsellor  in  the  matter  and  whom  it  is  reasonable  to  sup- 
pose is  best  calculated  to  understand  the  building  in  its 
entirety.  What  does  1%  or  $10  on  every  $1000  expended, 
amount  to.  for  revised  stock  plans  or  Sy2%  at  most  for  spe- 
cially-drawn plans  compared  to  a  20%  to  30%  lf>ss  in  in- 
effectiveness in  design,  cumbersome  plan  arrangement  or 
over-costly  construct it)n.  Or  what  is  $0  or  $10  or  .$15  for  one 
of  our  already  tried-out  stock  jtians  to  some  experimental 
plan  which  may   be  offered   you  at   nominal  cost? 

There  is  econojuy  in  botii  time  and  money  in  selecting  an 
architect  of  national  reputation,  or  what  we  might  term  a 
long-distance  architect.  You  thus  avoid  that  oft-repeated 
everlasting  sameness  in  design  which  naturally  comes  from 
[)urely  local  talent  although  every  locality  has  some  good 
ideas'unknown  to  another  locality.  I  have  never  planned  a 
building  for  any  one  where  some  new  idea  did  not  come  to 
me.  That  is  where  my  services  are  of  special  value  to  you. 
Having  done  work  in  practically  every  city  and  town  in  the 
I'nited  States  and  Canada  I  have  naturally  accumulated 
a  vast  store  of  plan-information  which  is  at  finger-ends  and 
the  l»esl  of  whi<-h  is  embodied  in  every  plan,  where  it  is  left 
up  to  me  to  produce  results.  IT  IS  KKSFLTS  Y(  H'  WANT. 
Therefore,  if  vou  are  gointr  to  build  and  are  willing  to  send 
me  a  retainer  of  $0  for  PRKLIMI  NARY  PLANS  and  will 
order  special  plans  if  tney  meet  with  your  approval  and  yon 
decide  t«»  l)uild  from  the  ideas  contained  in  same,  you  will 
in  this  way  get  tlva  best  possible  architectural  service  and 
your  home  will  c/>rtainly  be  a  .ioy   forever. 

Another  quick  vi^jiy  to  get  results  is  t«>  simply  order  a 
stock  plan,  explain  ciianges  desired  to  l>uilder.  then  before 
signing  i-ontract,  return  them,  with  pencil  notations  to 
be  redrawn,  which  we  can  generally  do  for  $L'.7r>  ft>r  the 
rt(H)r  plans  and  .$2..'»0  for  each  exterior  or  $12. To  alt<dd

PROGRESSIVE  IDEAS.— A  desire  for  a  home 
of  your  own  ia  one  of  the  best  proofs  of  your  per- 
sonal ambition,  your  interest  in  your  family,  and 
your  deaire  for  peace,  comfort  and  happineaa  both 
for  youraeli  and  for  those  nearest  you.  A  "Human 
Ant"  is  the  only  person  who  is  satiAied  to  build  a 
home  like  his  neighbors  or  bis  friends.  The  person 
wl>o  possesses  invention,  originality,  and  ambition, 
builds  a  home  which  fits  his  ideaa,  fita  his  sur- 
roundings and  fita  bis  purse  and  which  expreaacs 
bis  prograsaive  individuality. 


BB  UP-TO-DATE.— It  baa  no  doubt  occurred  to 
you  in  viewing  the  reaidence  streeta  of  various 
citiea  and  towna  aa  a  remarkable  fact  that  the  ma- 
jority of  houses  have  a  sameness,  are  utterly  devoid 
ol  artiatic  beauty  and  external  fitness.  In  those 
homes  where  you  have  been  behind  the  scenes  yoa 
have  fotind  the  aame  condition  exiating  in  interior 
daaign  and  finiah.  This  proves  otM  of  two  things, 
either  the  lack  of  an  architect  or  the  lack  ol  skill  of 
the  architect  employed.  When  you  do  see  a  well 
designed  bouse,  interior  and  exterior,  how  it  docs 
delight  your  eye  and  pleaaa  your  fancy.  When  yon 
build,  make  sure  that  you  arc  putting  your  money 
into  aomething  ol  which  you  will  alwaya  be  proud 
and  on  which  you  will  receive  the  coogratulatiaoa 
ol  yonr  Wcnda  and  neighbors.

PICTURE  YOUR  HOMB.-It  is  sometimes  dil- 
Hcult  for  the  layman  or  ordinary  individual  to  get  an 
adequate  idea  />i  the  general  appearance  ol  a  house 
from  a  plate  prmt  like  those  in  the  following  pages. 
One  of  theae  platea  being  selected  I  will  furnish  a 
reproduction  of  it  in  water  color,  to  large  size  with 
platu  on  aeparate  sheet  and  handaomely  mounted 
foe  framing  at  a  coat  of  one  dollar. 


HOME-LOVERS.— The  most  pleaaant  duty  de- 
votving  upon  the  skilled  architect  ia  the  deaignlng 
of  a  home  for  the  true  Home-Lover,  for  a  person 
who  is  building  a  home  for  home's  sake,  who  wanta 
it  modem  for  convenience'  sake  and  who  wants  it 
beautihil  for  beauty'a  sake.  May  good  fortune  grant 
that  the  person  into  whose  hands  this  volume  falls 
be  a  "Home-Lover." 


THE  NECESSITY  OF  PRELIMINARY  PLANS. 
—It  ia  aeldom  that  one  gels  a  suiuble  arrangement 
the  very  firat  time,  therefore  it  is  necessary  to  first 
send  the  plans  in  sketch  form  so  as  to  make  them 
handy  for  approval,  or  disapproval  of  ceruin  parts 
aa  you  aee  fiL  The  arcbitcct'a  greatest  difficulty  is 
in  getting  his  client's  first  ideaa-  If  you  have  any 
printed  deaigns  from  which  you  wish  to  adopt  cer- 
tain ornamental  featurea,  I  can  embody  them  in 
your  deaigns  and  endeavor  to  improve  on  any  sug- 
gestiona  offered. 


PRELIMINARY  PLANS.— Tba  home  builder  aa 
a  rule  can  only  give  hia  architect  general  sugges- 
tions and  ideas  aa  to  what  he  deairea  embodied  In 
bis  bouse.  For  thia  rcaaon  it  ia  necessary  that  pre- 
liminary aketchea  b«  made  and  submitted  to  bim 
before  work  on  the  actual  plans  are  begun.  A  lea 
of  SI  la  chaiged  for  such  preliminary  Ideas  and 
aketches  00  work  ol  SSOOO  or  under  but  it  bccomaa 
a  part  ol  the  total  lee  ao  that  when  the  completed 
plana  have  been  accepted,  the  original  sketches  have 
added  nothing  to  the  total  coal.  Preliminary  aketcb- 
es  and  Ideaa  are  aubmitted  without  charge,  to  re- 
sponaible  partiea  alter  receiving  a  bona  lids  order  lor 
a  aet  ol  working  plana  and  no  additional  charge  Is 
made  lor  altering  or  changiitg  these  skatcbaa  in  any 
way  desired.

WATER  COLORS.— A  wster  color  picture  ol 
your  protpcctive  home  ■ccoropanying  the  prelimin 
ary  plans  or  even  preceding  the  plans  Is  often  de- 
sirable as  it  gi^s  yea  a  good  idea  of  the  eztemal 
r/\fUie-up  ol  the  house  enabling  you  to  make  criti- 
cisms and  changes  before  the  actual  plans  aie 
drawn.  An  extra  charge  of  $5  is  made  for  such  a 
water  color  complete  and  fruned.

WORKING  DRAWINGS.  —  My  drawings  are 
complete  to  tha  smallest  detail:  comprehensive  end 
clear,  and  consist  of  basement,  attic,  roof,  and  two 
floor  plans  wi:b  dimensions  figured  and  marked  ac- 
curately, together  with  four  elevations  drawn  to  a 
quarter-inch  scale  and  details  for  everything  inside 
and  out  where  necessary;  also  includes  typewritten 
specifications  and  contract  blanks  so  that  on  re- 
ceipt of  plans  and  specifications  you  are  ready  to 
place  your  contract.  The  question  of  economy  is 
not  overlooked  in  the  preparation  of  plans  and  it  is 
usually  safe  to  figure  a  ten  or  twenty  per  cent  sav- 
ing when  building  from  my  plans.

SUPER1NTENDENCE.-Tbe  plans  should  be 
so  drawn  that  any  competent  builder  can  follow 
them  to  the  smallest  detail  and  my  plans  are  so 
cotrprehensive  snd  clear  that  any  builder  who  is 
reasonably  competent  will  be  able  to  follow  them 
without  difficulty.  It  is  very  necessary  that  you 
have  comphKe  working  drawings  and  above  all  le- 
gally worded  specifications.  It  excites  competition 
among  the  builders,  and  then  since  you  know  that 
all  builders  are  figuring  on  the  same  basis,  you  can 
very  readily  aee  bow  the  price  of  plans  and  specili- 
csliona  may  be  ssved  many  limes  over.

CONSULTATION— In  large  mercantile  and  finan- 
cial institutions  it  has  become  the  custom  for  those 
who  have  charge  of  various  departments  to  consult 
with  their  superiors  wholly  on  psper  so  that  a  rec- 
ord will  be  had  of  all  nilings  and  opinions.  For 
this  same  reason  the  architect  who  Is  not  a  resident 
architect  will  in  many  cases  give  you  better  service 


as  you  will  consult  with  him  wholly  oa  paper  and 
you  will  have  for  all  time  the  records  of  such  con- 
suitation.  This  office  is  Just  ■■  close  to  you  as 
your  nearest  nail  boa.

UNPREJUDICED  ADVICE.  —  In  preparing  to 
build,  the  main  object  is  to  have  a  suitable  arrange- 
ment ol  floor  plan  and  this  is  where  you  will  need 
the  assistance  of  some  one  who  is  totally  unprejc- 
diced,  regardless  of  any  selfish  interests  which  he 
may  have  in  finally  figuring  oa  the  contract  to 
erect  the  house.

PLAN  SATISFACTION.— My  interests  lie  alto- 
gether in  having  you  well  pleased  and  in  putting  up 
a  house  which  will  be  a  comfort  to  you  as  well  sx  a 
credit  to  this  office.  We  could  not  afford  to  give 
you  anything  but  the  most  conscientious  advice  on 
all  points.  If  given  your  work  we  shall  feel  fully 
responsible  for  its  ultimate  success  as  to  practica- 
bility and  design.

SUGGESTIONS  TO    YOUR   NEIGHBORS.-lf 

communities,  as  a  whole,  could  readily  understand 
and  appreciate  art  in  architecture,  each  house  wc-nld 
enhance  the  value  of  adjoining  property.  My  cli- 
ents often  make  special  efforts  to  secure  for  me  the 
planning  of  bouses  for  their  adjoining  neighbcrs,  so 
that  the  surrounding  houses  may  be  in  true  harmony. 
A  great  many  architects  have  not  the  least  concep- 
tion cf  how  a  building  will  appear  in  perspccti\-c 
when  erected,  or  its  relative  value  to  other  buildings, 
landscape,  etc.  I  make  a  close  study  of  these  con- 
ditions.

CHANGES  IN  STOCK  PLANS.— In  case  I  have

special  designs  but  covers  only  minor  changes 
which  can  readily  be  made  without  preliminary 
sketches  or  reconstructing  the  entire  plans  or  chang- 
ing outside  dimensions  of  plans.  These  charges 
tor  minor  changes  are  olten  mistaken  as  prices  at 
which  original  study  and  special  plans  can  be  had 
which  is  altogether  a  different  class  ol  work.

"If  to*  mould  create  something,  torn  mmsl 
be  something.  "—Goethe, 


POOR  COPIES.— Builders  sometimes  try  to  im- 
press upon  prospective  clienu  that  they  can  draw- 
up  something  a  little  different  and  y«t  evade  the 
architect's  righu  at  law.  No  copy  la  as  good  as 
the  origitul,  in  the  first  place,  and  beaides  subject- 
ing their  customers  to  a  cost  lor  plana  which  is 
ma:\y-times  higher  than  what  we  might  originally 
charge  if  ordered  direct,  the  result  Is    a  '  very    com- 


mon-place design.  Vou  nave  noticed  that  "same- 
ness" in  houses  built  in  certain  localities?  Why  is 
iO  Have  you  not  seen  a  certain  house  which  looked 
like  a  gentleman  among  a  lot  of  beggars?  It  all  ds- 
pends  on  the  architect  you  employ. 


"The  highest  problem  of  anv  art  is  to  catsag

WHEN  ADVICE  IS  OP  VALUE.-When  ont 
contemplates  building,  it  is  in  the  early  stages  of 
the  enterprise  that  the  architect  should  be  selected. 
The  advice  and  experience  of  a  truatworlhv  archi- 
tect should  be  secured  by  all  means.  Do  not  ex- 
pect an  architect  to  put  his  best  ideas  on  paper  for 
you,  unless  you  have  a  positive  understanding  with 
him  that  he  is  to  do  the  work.  Parties  who  strug- 
gle along  themselves  with  all  the  preliminary  work 
and  later  on,  employ  an  architect  do  not  secure  full 
services.  The  most  valuable  portion  of  a  plan,  and 
often  its  most  vital  points  are  rendered  during  its 
embryotic  period,  therelore  do  not  then  begrudge  an 
architect  payment  for  original  ideas.

rate."—ShaXespeare. 


THE  BUILDER-ARCHITECT.— Any  builder  who 
IS  skilled  in  his  line  should  have  some  good  ideas 
in  planning  and  some  ability  as  a  draftaman  but  no 
builder  who  Is  skilled  in  bis  line  will  attempt  to 
prepare  a  set  of  architectural  plans  or  to  design  a 
building.  The  builder-architect  is  always  a  poor 
architect  and  usiully  a  common-place  builder.  The 
good  apothecary  does  not  prescribe,  and  the  pre- 
scriptions of  the  poor  apothecary  are  dangerous 
dope.  You  would  not  go  to  a  veterinary  surgeon 
for  a  case  of  the  measels  would  you? 


"Knotnledge  Is  the  treasure,  but  Judgment 
is  the  :reasurer  of  a  wise  man,"—Penn, 

THE  CHEAP  BUILDER.-:- A  cheap  tailor  or 
dressmaker  often  ruins  good  material  aod  a  cheap 
builder  often  ruins  a  good  set  ol  plans.  He  is  nat- 
urally antagonistic  to  the  architect  whose  plans  de- 
mand the  best  in  materials  and  construction.  The 
good  architect  always  saves  many  times  bis  fes  by 
the  use  ol  material-saving  and  time-saving  ideas. 
The  securing  ol  complete  plans  prepared  by  a  skilled 
architect  and  the  making  ol  a  written  conuact  ol 
which  the  architect's  specifications  are  necesaarily  a 
part  of  the  contract,  is  the  only  protection  sgainst 
the  cheap  builder.  Building  blunders  have  cost  th« 
world  ma  .y  thousand  times  more  than  has  ever 
been  spent  for  architect's  plans  and  spscilicationa. 


"//  is  ridiculous  fsrang  man  to  criticise  the

STVIE  III  AMHITECTURE.- 


gTYLE  in  architecture  is  that 
original  beauty  which  estab- 
li&bes  a  standard  of  excellence 
in  each  individual  building  and 
gives  a  sense  uf  indefinable  com- 
pleteness. 

Style  in  architectuie  is  a  i>ro- 
ducl  uf  the  fancy  uf  the  aicliitect 
which  can  be  simple  and  eca- 
nomical  and  still  beautiful,  or 
common-place  and  yet  quite  ex- 
pensive. 


Style  in  architecture  is  some- 
thing about  a  building  in  the  way 
of  improvement  of  outline  or  de- 
tail which  makes  it  attractive  and 
desirable  tu  the  casual  observer. 

Style  in  architecture  is  an  in- 
novation of  the  architect  who 
has  dared  to  be  original  and  in- 
dividual and  who  can  produce  a 
building  which  will,  at  the  same 
time,  appeal  to  popular  favor. 


HOME,    MAKING 


I OME  is  the  word  ol  broadest, 
deepest  and  tenderest  signifi- 
cance in  the  English  lan- 
guage. The  home  is  the  cul- 
mination of  domestic  love  and  the 
training  school  for  future  generations. 
The  young  married  couple  has  no  more 
sacred  duty  than  the  building  a  home 
which  shall  reflect  their  thought  and 
embody  their  life  together. 

There  are  four  important  factors  to 
be  considered  in  the  making  of  a  home, 
the  bank  account,  the  wife,  the  husband 
and  the  architect  These  must  har- 
moni2e  or  there  will  be  a  failure  wheie 
so  much  depends  upon  success. 

If  there  is  only  a  few  thousand  dol- 
lars to  be  invested  there  must  be  nu 
reaching  out  after  the  unattainable. 
The  fact  must  be  squarely  faced. 

It  is  by  the  preparation  of  designs 
and  the  making  ol  accurate  estimates 
on  the  sum  named  as  the  limit  that  I 
make  friends  of  my  clients. 

An  alliance  of  this  kind  becomes 
something  more  than  a  mere  business 
proposition,  hence  I  enter  sympathetic- 
ally into  the  plans  of  the  home-makers 
and  when  they  take  possession  of  the 
house  it  is  with  the  happy  conscious- 
ness of  having  what  they  wanted,  fre- 
quently at  less  outlay  than  they  at  first 
inlicipated. 


The  whims,  (ancies  and  idiosyncra- 
sies of  home-makers  are  innumerable. 
Where  it  is  impossible  or  ill-advised 
to  gratify  them  I  rarely  fail,  by  the  em- 
ployment of  reason  and  the  exercise  ol 
tact,  to  direct  the  thoughts  of  my  clients 
into  more  rational  channels.  I  have 
never  assumed  the  office  ol  dictator 
preferring  to  be  looked  upon  as  >  help- 
er, an  expert  assistant,  whose  judgment 
carries  the  weight  of  practical  exper- 
ience. 

I  do  not  take  the  easiest  means  to 
please  a  client  until  1  have  first  sub- 
mitted my  ideas  and  it  is  therefore 
sometimes  necessary  to  antagonize 
frankly  and  fairly  the  wishes  of  a  client, 
and  not  infrequently  I  have  been 
amused  at  the  trick  of  memory  by  which 
the  home  maker  assu:nes  responsibility 
for  the  feature  to  which  he  strenously 
objected  in  the  very  formation  of  the 
plans. 

Home-makers,  as  a  rule  are  earnest, 
honest  men  and  women  who,  if  their 
confidence  is  gained  will  trust  implicit- 
ly to  the  wisdom  of  the  architect  they 
employ.  I  have  never  given  a  client 
cause  to  consider  his  trust  in  my  abi!ty 
as  misplaced.

TO  THE  CONTRACTOR 

The  contractor  who  works  to  my  pl«ns  Und«  tlMt  they  redouixl  to  lii* 
credit  as  well  as  mine.  Wise  connactors  know  what  it  meani  to  h«»« 
attributed  to  them  a  structure  attractive  in  design,  complete  in  every  de- 
tail and  perlectly  adapted  to  the  uses  lot  which  it  is  intended.  This  is 
possible  only  when  the  services  ol  a  thoroughly  competent  architect  are 
secured.  It  is  as  much  to  my  interest  as  to  the  contractors,  that  I  should 
wrk  in  periecl  harmony  with  him.  I  receive  credit  lor  the  design  ar>d  be 
lor  the  eaecution.  II  either  is  laulty  then  both  ol  us  are  blamed,  and  we 
lall  together.  II  both  arc  good  then  we  divide  honors,  and  when  the  ques- 
tions are  asked,  "who  planned  ihal  building'"  and  "who  conilrucled  that 
building'"  we  may  well  be  proud  to  be  named  together

When  no  pUns  are  used,  the  con- 
tractor is  often  obliged  to  do  some  work  which  he 
did  not  figure  on,  and  the  home  builder  often  doa 
not  get  as  much  for  his  money  as  he  expected, 
simply  because  there  was  no  baw  on  which  to 
work  and  upon  which  to  base  the  contract. 

No  misunderstandings  can  anse  when  a  set 
of  our  plans  and  specifications  are  before  the 
contractor  and  the  home  builder,  showing  the 
interior  andexierior  construction  of  the  house 
ts  agreed  upon  in  the  contract.

DOES  II  ARCNITEer  PAY? 


/JiN  architect's  plans  are  the  greatest 
economy  in  a  building  operation, 
and  the  cheaper  the  building  the  great- 
er is  the  importance  of  plans. 

For  instance  take  it  on  a  $1,000 
basis,  for  cheap  but  convenient  illus- 
tration, what  is  $35  or  3)^  per  cent 
for  accurately-drawn  plans,  and  details 
of  construction  and  carefully-worded 
specifications,  when  in  the  first  place 
the  style  and  dignity  which  an  archi- 
tect-planned house  gives  is  500  per 
cent  greater  than  that  of  the  common- 
place amateur-planned  house.

MODERATE  COST  HOUSES. 

rLANS  which  refer- back  to  this  page  have  1 8-inch  stone  or 
13-iDch  brick  foundation  walls,  as  desired,  with  cellar  under 
the  main  portion  of  house  where  cellar  stairs  ^u-e  .shown,  and 
flue  for  furnace  where  practical,  with  general,  good  finish 
throughout.  Plumbing  is  included  where  shown.  Story 
heights  average  i  o  feet. 

All  rooms  are  plastered  and  finished  with  yellow  pine,  or 
native  wood,  in  natural  finish.  All  mouldings  are  detailed  in 
stock  patterns,  and  details  of  porches,  cornices,  etc.,  are  very 
simple  in  construction.  It  is  important  to  have  the  entire 
construction  of  a  building  clearly  shown  by  large  scale  or  full- 
size  drawings.  .  It  assists  the  workmen  on  the  building,  for 
they  do  not  then  have  to  ponder  over  problems  of  cor^struc- 
tion.  The  plans  are  all  neatly  and  accurately  drawn,  and 
above  all,  carefully  figured,givingdiraensionSof  glass,  location 
and  size  of  doors,  windows,  etc.,  and  all  information  neces- 
sary for  the  successful  guidance  of  the  builder. 

It  costs  no  more  to  put  style  into  a  house  than   it  does   to 

have  it  commonplace  and  as  long  as  discretion  is  used  in   the 

conomical  and  practical  selection  of  mouldings,   ornaments, 

etc.,  there  is  no  danger  of  running-up  the  cost  of  construction. 

Carefully-drawn  plans,  details  and  specifications  sliould  be 
prepared  for  structures  of  all  kinds.  Where  you  have  com- 
plete plans,  you  then  know  that  all  contractors  are  figuring  on 
the  same  basis,  and  when  you  do  get  a  reasonably  low  bid 
you  are  assured  it  is  not  for  inferior  work.  The  difference  in 
estimates  here  given  are  supposed  td  cover  the  total  costs  in 
different  localities,  giving  the  lowest  and  highest  probable 
costs,  and  we  therefore  give  no  absolute  guarantees  as  to  the 
actual  cost,  for  prices  are  regulated  more  or  less  by  the  amount 
of  competition  there  is  among  builders.  All  estimates  are 
based  on  the  schedule  of  prices  in  front'pages  If  you  have 
plans  you  can  always  get  reasonably  fait  bids.  At  the  prices 
given  for  stock-plans,  no  changes  or  modifications  are  includ- 
ed, but  we  will  furnish  plans  reversed,  if  desired,  or  will 
change  any  floor  plan  for  $2.75  extra  and  any  elevation  or 
exterior  view  for  $2.50,  or  will  make  special  plans  for  2  per- 
cent, on  cost  of  building,  or  $2^.00  for  houses  of  less  than 
$1,250  in  cost.

THE  COMPtTITIVE  IDE.A. 

Many  presume  that  an  architect  should  be  expected  to  enter 
lino  *ork  in  competition.  This  is  wrong.  An  architect  should  no 
more  be  expected  to  "give  samples  of  his  work  as  you  might  say. 
than  a  lawyer,  a  physician,  or  any  other  professional  man.  This 
i:>  unjust  for  the  reason  that  important  ideas  are  given  in  the  pre- 
liminary plans,  and  no  architect  will  care  lo  give  his  best  ideas  or 
spend  the  lime  and  study  in  competitive  work  as  he  will  when  he 
knows  he  will  be  paid  for  his  ser\  ices,  if  satisfactory.  Further- 
more the  competitive  architect  usually  lakes  the*  easiest  means  to 
please,  which  does  not  always  rrean  the  best  thing  for  the  client. 

I  would  r.:uch  rather  lake  work  at  half  price  and  have  a  posi- 
tive order,  than  take  any  chanci  of  losing  an  order;  as  an  architeci 
does  when  he  enters  into  work  conipeiitixely.  I  take  all  work  on 
condition,  that  I  give  entire  satisfaction  in  the  preliminary  or  pencil 
plans,  before  nvaking  ihe  completed  woik.  or  no  pay.  Where 
architectural  work  is  done  on  this  arrangement,  it  facilitates  mai- 
lers all  around.  The  client  saves  lime  by  concentrating  his  lime 
with  one  architect,  and  the  architect,  docs  likewise  in  return.

Every  man  should  be  proficicnl

chitect who  is  practical  and  efficient 
in  desig:n  has  all  he  can  attend  to 
without  attaching  "Builder "to  his

some  ways   in  the  country.     When  I  think  of  it, 
will  take  Kodak  with  me  and  take  sonie  pictures. 
of  the  house.     It  presents  a  very  pretty  exterior.

St.  Louis.  Mo. 
Dear  Sir:— 

Replying  to  your  favor  of  the  lath  inst.  ask- 
ing how  I  am  satisfied  with  plans,  etc.,  will  state 
Id  not  be  induced  to  build  without 
pccial  plans  prepared  by  you.  Your  advice 
during  the  preparation  of  the  preliminary 
plans  has  been  invaluable  to  me;  and  since  the 
erection  of  my  residence.  I  now  am  assured 
(hat  you  have  directed  mc  in  a  most  thorough 
manner,  in  all  m.iiters  pertaining  lo  the  economi- 
cal arrangement  of  plan,  improved  methods  of 
consiructioii,  modern  design,  etc. 

My  building  is  said  to  show  up  in  size,  work- 
manship and  design  better  than  some  which 
have  cost  almost  double  the  amount,  and  it  is 
generally  admired  and  favorably  commented  up- 
on by  all.  I  would  not  build  again  without  spe- 
cially prepared  plans  for  five  limes  their  cost. 

Yours   sincerely, 
(Circuit  Clerk)  JOHN  C.  WEIMER,

ARTISTIC       HOMES 


HE  employi:d  an  architect 

HE  made  a  fortune  buying  lota. 
Converting  them  to  pretty  spots, 
And  building  pleasant  homes  to  sell— 
For  koycroft  always  builded  well, 
Substantial ,  healthy,  handy  homes; 
With  arches,  gables,  peaks  and  domes, 
Piazzas,  oriels  and  handsome  towers, 
Half  hidden  in  the  trees  and  flowers. 
Each  house  was  varied  from  the  rest- 
Like  pretty  women,  nicely  dressed. 
He  scarce  coiild  hold  a  house  till  done. 
For  at  least  two  buyers  sougliteach  one. 

HOW  Roycroft  did  it,  none  could  learn; 
He  was  so  very  taciturn. 
When  dying,  Roycroft  told  his  spousr 
The  secret-    "When  you  want  a  house. 
Secure  ao  architect  at  once." 
(He  w:bo  hires  himself,  a  dunce  employes.) 
The  architect  may  make  dne  door 
Serve  where  you  might  put  in  four  or  more. 
He,  knowing  laws  of  heat  and  light, 
Devises  rooms  so  all  are  bright. 
Cijts  windows  just  the  size  and  where. 
They  yield  the  utmost  light  and  air. 

PROVIDES  for  all  things  ample  space. 
Keeping  everything  in  proper  place; 
Learns  what  you  want  before  he  starts, 
Saves  adding  costly  little  parts. 
Remember,  it  is  not  the  size— 
Arrangement  makes  the  home  we  prize. 
Outside  he  moulds  the  charm  of  "style" 
From  basement  to  the  topmost  tils. 
He  requires  material  enough, 
Describes  the  proper  sort  of  stutT, 
Everything  is  clearly  speciGed, 
So  it  ie  fair  to  either  side. 

WHAT  is  experiment  with  you. 
He  knows  precisely  how  to  do. 
What  can  be  done,  with  what  effect; 
What  not  to  do,  how  to  select. 
Haves  steps  for  Iiousewives'  weary  feet, 
Supplies  control  of  cold  and  heat. 
No  house  designed  with  reckless  haste 
But  with  distinctiveness  and  taste. 
No  tearing-down  and  building  twice, 
With  ''changes"  at  a  fancy  price. 
Your  house  will  rarely  cost  you  more 
Than  you  have  calculated  on  before. 

THE  first  house  I  built,  I  recollect. 
I  had  an  amatucr  architect. 
And  many  often  asked  roe  what 
Had  happened  to  that  vacant  lot. 
Was  it  an  air-ship  that  had  lit 
Or  simply  an  architectural  mis-fit? 
1  patched  that  house  and  there  it  stood 
Reflecting  on  the  neighborhood. 
Till  Providence,  in  righteous  Ire, 
Redeemed  its  ugliness  with  fire. 
My  buildings,  subsequent,  were  wrought 
On  paper  first,  with  thorough  thought. 


HE  aichitect  is  a  prophet 
who  fuHills  bis  own  pre- 
dictions. He  foretells  the 
exact  formation  oi  a  palace 
or  a  cottage,  a  church  or  a  sky-scrap- 
er where  there  is  only  vacant  ground. 
He  conceives  to  the  nninutest  detail 
a  structure  while  yet  the  stone  is  in 
the  quarry,  the  bricks  are  but  clay 
and  the  lumber  is  in  the  tree.  Be- 
•  lore  a  dollar  has  been  expended  in 
segregating  these  materials  he  has 
counted  the  cost  and  announced  the 
day  on  which  the  building  will  b« 
ready  for  occupancy. 

His  client,  beholding  that  the  ar- 
chitects former  predictions  have 
come  to  pass,  trust  him  implicitly 
and  provides  the  means  by  which 
the  conception  of  the  design  shall 
come  into  being. 

James  Russell  Lowell  says  in  the 
Bigelow  Papers:  "Don't  ever 
prophesy  unless  you  know,"  and  here 
is  where  it  is  important  to  select 
an  architect  who  knows.  Guess 
work  in  building  does  not  pay. 
Guessing  at  cost,  guessing  at  time, 
guessing  at  appearance  and  solidity 
are  expensive  weaknesses  in  tin 
architect,  that  is  for  the  man  who 
pays  the  bills. 

My  success  is  due  to  my  ability 
(o  submit  a  design  which  embodies 
the  ideas  c(  my  client  wrought  into 
a  plan  beyond  his   conception. 

My  accumulated 
information,  corrected  to  date,  may 
be  relied  upon  by  every  client  when 
a  positive  order  is  given  in  advance, 
ihcreby  justifying  my  personal  at- 
tention on  matters  of  exact  cost, 
design,  plan  arrangement,  etc. 

Il  is  to  this  accuroulated  informa- 
tion and  my  staff  of  thoroughly- 
trained  assistants  that  I  owe  the 
position  which  I  occupy  in  the  pro- 
fession. Each  man  assistant  in  my 
employ  being  a  specialist,  thoro- 
ughly competent  and  reliable  in  the 
performance  of  the  task  assigned  to 

him.  -307-

Yours  at  hand  and  much  pleased  to  hear  from  you.  My  house  is  not  com- 
pleted. The  carpenters  will  finish  sometime  this  week.  The  contractor  was 
very  slow  in  getting  everything  ready,  but  will  say  your  plans  were  carried  out 
to  the  letter,  and  it  is  pronounced  by  everyone  a  showy  house.  I  thought  at 
first  you  were  exhorbitant  in  your  charges,  but  now  would  pay  you  twice  that 
sum  than  build  without  your  plans,  and  to  say  that  I  am  pleased,  is  putting  it 
mildly,  and  as  soon  as  it  is  completed  will  send  you  a  photo  of  it,  and  hope  that

SUMME.R  COTTAGES 

As  a  number  of  our  cheaper  cottages  are  planned  suitable  for  summer  cot- 
tages, we  have  them  classified  as  shown  on  the  succeeding  thirty-two  pages. 
These  houses  are  figured  for  regular  construction,  except  where  described  as 
summer  construction,  and  basements  are  included  where  cellar  stairs  are  shown. 
We  have  a  special  cheap  method  of  summer-house  construction,  using  beaded 
partition  lumber  to  inside  partitions,  running  perpindicular  around  the  entire 
room,  and  having  the  room  free  from  the  customary  exposed  posts  to  outer 
walls.  This  method  will  save  1 5  to  20  per-cent  in  cost,  and  we  can  prepare 
special  plans  of  any  cheap  house  for  $25.  See  index  for  other  summer  cottages.

FROM  A   CONTRACTOR. 

Herbert  C.  Chivers,  Sl  Louis,  Mo.: 

We  very  much  like  our  new  bouse,  erected  from  your  plans  and  spec- 
ificatibns.  It  is  a  thing  of  beauty  for  those  who  look  upon  it,  and  a  joy  for 
us.  One  who  invests  in  your  judgment,  plan*  and  specifications,  before 
building  will  avoid  the  many  disappointments  and  discouragements  usually 
met  in  an  effort  to  build  a  house.  Were  we  to  build  to-morrow,  you  would 
be  selected  as  our  architect.     Respectfully, 

B.  A.  DONALDSON.

Dear  Sir: — 

I  take  great  pleasure-  in  saying  that  the  plans 
worked  out  perfectly,  and  we  have  an  exceed-

giving  us  a  place  with  more  style  and  character. 
Thanking  you  for  the  interest  which  you  took 
in  same  while  we  were  building,  I  beg  to  re-

POINTS  TO  LOOK  AFTER. 
Tbe  planning  of  a  hOBse.  where  expensive  materlala  and  labor  are  coaslderad, 
aboald  not  be  left  to  tmskllled  bands.  Allow  tbe  ladj  of  the  boose  to  bare  coa- 
■tderable  say-so  in  tbe  floor  arrangement  especially.  Tbey  bare  to  1It«  In  tbe 
bouae  day  and  nigbt  and  a  poorly  planned  bouse  la  generally  more  expenaltc 
than  a  modem  prartlcal  plan.  A(^A

D«»r  Sir: — 

We  received  plans  in  good  shape,  and  ihe 
church  has  been  buill  and  we  are  all  pleased 
Herelolore  we  have  had  experience  in  church 
plans  wiih  Eastern  architects,  which  at  first  made 
us  skeptical  in  this  case  For  a  church  guaran- 
teed to  cost  a  certain  amquni,  the  lowest  bid 
was   just   double   Ihe   original    estimate. 

We  (eel  that  you  have  treated  us  in  a  strictly

|KT  and  Architecture  go  hand-m-hand.  The  leading  architects  do  not  care  lor 
moderate-cost  residence  work,  but  to  meet  this  demand  I  have  established  a 
special  department  for  the  planning  of  Cozy  Homes,  and  as  1  do  more  work 
in  this  one  department  alone,  than  any  three  architects,  this  great  practice,  ex- 
tending as  it  does,  to  all  parts  of  the  United  Stales  and  Foreign  Countries, 
naturally  gives  me  a  knowledge  of  the  best  ideas  from  all  parts  of  the  country,  and  these 
ideas,  lor  a  nominal  price,  can  be  incorporated  in  your  plans;  and  where  your  neighbor 
has  a  cheap  carpenter-planned  or  cheap  stock-plan  house,  that  you  fmd  duplicated  and 
staring  you  in  the  lace  wherever  you  go,  you,  for  a  lew  dollars  more,  can  have  a 
house  that  is  stylish,  economical,  home-like  and  out  of  the  ordinary.— Herbert  C.  Chivers.

HERBERT   C.   CHIVERS   CO.    ARCHITECTS 


ARTISTIC       HOMES 


I  HEN  you  are  'building  a  home  it  will 
cost  you  no  more,  but  will  be  a 
thousand  times  more  satisfactory,  if 
you  will  build  on  the  past  exper- 
ience and  most  modem  ideas  of  an 
architect  of  national  reputation,  and  build  for 
the  future.  It  is  a  fact  and  a  lamentable  one, 
that  a  hundred  times  more  money  has  been 
wasted  in  mistakes  and  blunders  in  building 
than  has  ever  been  paid  to  architects. 

You  undoubtedly  liave  some  pretty  well- 
defined  ideas  of  the  sort  of  a  house  you  want 
and  there  are  some  things  which  you  have 
always  wanted  in  your  house  and  ^  now  you 
intended  having  them.  That's  right,  but  don't 
build  a  bam,  in  your  baste,  and  then  stick  on 
a  lot  of  warts  here  and  there  and  expect  to 
get  artistic  and  tasty  design. 

It  will  be  better  for  your  family,  pocket- 
book,  peace-of-mind  and  temper  if  you  will 
simply  slap  all  these  ideas  into  a  roughly 
drawn  pencil  sketch,  of  the  sort  of  a  house 
you  want,  and  send  the  same  to  me  with  in- 
structions to  prepare  sketches  for  you  and 
later  to  complete  the  plans.  My  large  ex- 
perience and  information  acquired  in  the  sat- 
isfaction of  thousaqds  of  clients  is  yojjrs  for 
a  nominal  sum. 

It's  your  bouse  that  you  are  going  to  build 
and  it's  your  money  that  is  going  to  pay  for 
it,  but  a  thing  that  is  worth  doing,  is  worth 
doing  right,  and  it  will  not  take  ver^r  much 
in  wasted  material  to  absorb  the  $45.00  or  so 
you  would  be  trying  to  save  in  being  your 
owti  architect,  laying  aside  the  important 
matter  of  convenient  plan,  style  and  design 
that  an  architect  of  experience  can  give. 

WE  ARE  FROM  MISSOURI  AND  MUST  BE  SHOWN 


I  can  show  you  bow  to  make  thr 
money  you  have  appropriated 
for  your  new  bouse  go  fartbet 
toward  meeting  your  every  re- 
quirement than  you  can  do  for 
youTselt  I  have  studied  these 
matters  in  so  many  phases,  and 
overcome  so  many  obstacles

Dcir  Sin- 
Both    Mrs    Hobbs  and   mytclf   had   som«   brit- 
liartt    ideas    which    we    wished    to    embody    in    a 
home.     The  trouble  with  our  brilliant  ideas  was 
that   no  architect   would   acknowledge   that   they 
were  even  brilliant  or  usable.     Each  architect   I 
visited   first  threw   cold   water  on   my   ideas   and 
then  tried  'to  sell  me  something  I  did  not  want. 
Having  heard  a  great  deal  of  you  and  your  work 
during  the  year  1  spent  in  St.   Louis.  1  sent  you 
my   sketches,  expecting   to   receive   a    letter    stat- 
ing thai   they  were  worthless.     The  letter  never 
came,  but  the   plans  did.   and  the  plans,  well;   I 
think  you   are   a  diplomat,   but   I   know   you   are 
an  architect.     If  all  my  ideas  are   not  embodied 
in   these   plans,   the   plans   are   so   complete   and 
well  developed,  that  1  do  not  miss  them. 

While  wishing  you  success,  it  occurs  to  me  to 
mention  that  there  may  be  many  more  in  Chi- 
cago in  my  predicament,  and  will  certainly  refer 
any  prospective  builder  to  St.  Louis  for  his 
«*lan$.

Dear  Sir: — 

Please  pardon  my  delay  le  not  writing  sooner 
expressing  my  appreciation  of  the  plans  you 
made  for  the  remodeling  of  my  residance  The 
query  is,  "How  did  you  accomplish  sucH  a  lran»- 
lormalion?"     The   exterior    is   far   ahead   of   uur 


expectation,  and  the  interior  arrangement  his 
our  needs  just  about  right  and  makes  us  a  vtty 
ccmilorlable   home 

The  money  I  paid  you  for  plans  was  well  in- 
vested, for  they  worked  out  perfectly,  saved  us 
money,  and  a  whole  lot  of  worry. 

Yours  truly,

8V  HCRBCRT  C.  CHIVEHS. 
DEVISER  OF  CIVIC  IMPROVEMENTS. 


■  T  it  Dot  uncommon  to  hear  the  present 
1  age  condemned  as  utilitarian  and  the  Am- 
erican people  denounced  as  mere  money 
getters.  These  sweeping  charges  are  lar 
Irom  being  juslitied  by  the  (acts.  Proles- 
sor  Erail  Reich,  in  his  learned  work  "Success 
Among  Nations,"  declares  that  we  are  the  mosV 
liberal  spenders  on  earth  and  are  doing  more  lor  the 
cause  ot  art  than  is  being  done  in  any  other  country. 
It  ii  true  that  in  every  city,  town,  village  and 
hamlet  in  the  land  there  is  a  constantly  increasing 
number  of  business  men  who  are  beg:inning  to  ap- 
preciate the  troth  of  the  saying  that  Civic  beauty  is 
a  positive  asset,  that  the  surest  way  to  increase 
population  and  induce  the  investment  of  capital  is 
to  make  the  city  attractive.  Private  enterprise  is 
doing  much  in  this  direction  by  the  erection  of  bus- 
iness buildings  and  residences  which  it  is  a  pleas- 
ure to  behold.  Municipal  authorities,  hitherto  neg- 
ligent or  indifferent  to  these  high  matters,  are  awak- 
ening to  an  appreciation  of  the  value  of  the  beauti- 
ful. In  many  large  cities  pl^ns  involving  the  ex- 
penditure of  many  millions  have  been  adopted  and 
are  being  rlpidly  executed  to  produce  a  purely  ar- 
tistic effect. 

There  are  to  be  erected  during  the  present  year  a 
large  number  of  schools,  court  houses,  churches, 
city  halls,  theatres,  libraries  and  other  public  build- 
ioga.  There  are  parks,  squares  .and  drive-ways  to 
be  laid  out.  Streets  are  to  be  widened  and  unsight- 
ly buildings  purchased  and  torn  down  There  is  a 
stirring  in  the  direction  oi  aesdietic  endeavor  such 
as  this  country  has  never  before  known- 

In  the  latter  days  of  the  Second  Empire  in  France 
when  Baron  Hausman  proposed  the  remodeling  oi 
Paris  the  ultra-conservaties  pronounced  his  plans 
extravagant,  impracticable  and  even  impossible. 
"Every  Reform"  says  Emerson  "Was  once  a  priv- 
ate opinion  and  when  it  shall  become  private  opin- 
ion again  it  will  solve  the  problem  of  the  age." 
The  beautifying  of  Paris  was,  first,  the  private  opin- 
ion of  a  German  naturalized  in  France,  it  came  to 
be  the  private  opinion  of  Napoleon  Ill^i  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Corps  Legislaliv,  of  the  mayor  and  his 
council  and  oi  th^  leading  citizens,  and  the  result  is, 
that  Paris  to-day  is  the  most  beautiful  city  in  the 
world,  and  its  beauty  has  proved  to  be  a  municipal 
asset  of  incalculable  value.  The  same  is  true  in  a 
degree  of  Washington  and  several  other  places  that 
are  being  transformed  and  regenerated  by  the  sub- 
stitution of  beauty  for  ugliness.  When  they  wake 
up  to  the  importance  oi  the  movement  thousands  oi 
towns  will  lollow  these  good  examples. 

We  are  told  that  "Nothing  great  was  ever  achiev- 
ed without  enthusiasm."  and  to  secure  adequate 
civic  improvements  the  newspapers  oi  the  place 
must  be  sympathetically  active  in  giving  publicity 
to  the  movement  Boards  of  Trade  and  Commer- 
cial Exchanges  must  take  an  active  interest.  Busi- 
ness men's  clubs  organized  for  this  express  purpose 
must  aid  in  the  propaganda  by  the  distribution  of 
informative  literature  and  the  holding  oi  public 
mass  meetings.  Employers  oi  labor  should  be 
supplied  with  reading  matter  ior  distribution  among 
the  men  tmtil  the  dream  oi  an  artist  becomes  the 
ulk  oi  the  streets,  the  resolution  oi  the  conlerenca 
and  finally  the  decree  oi  the  assembly. 

The  inevitable  objection  ifitl  be  raised  to  any 
considerable  expenditure  oi  mdney  by  the  city, 
whether  obtained  by  a  direct  levy  or  irom  the  sale 
oi  municipal  bonds,  that  taxation  will  be  increased. 
That  is  unavoidable.  But  the  grumbling  ratepayer 
must  bear  in  mind  the  vastly  increased  value  of  his 
property  both  fm  rental  or  sale  bv  the  beautirrb<C 
of  the  rily  where  it  is  located.  _  Ii  7  ^ 


For  years  I  have  been  eminently  successful  aa  ■ 
Deviser  of  Civic  Improvements  whether  undertaken 
by  the  municipality,  by  corporations  or  by  private 
individuals.  I  am  prepared  to  examine  and  pro- 
nounce upon  the  eligability  of  sites  and  submit 
plans  for  administration  buildings,  schools,  hoi- 
pitala,  public  baths,  parks  and  play-grounda  and  ior 
the  widening  and  ornamentation  of  thoroughfarea. 
Having  erected  monumental  structures  in  most  oi 
the  principal  cities  of  the  United  States  and  in  nuiB- 
erous  smaller  places  I  am  able'to  deMonstrata  my 
ability  to  design,  construct  and  decorate  in  the  mot! 
satisfactory  manner,  without  a  demand  for  an  tx- 
travagant  outlay,  such  edifices  aa  railway  suiioni, 
hotels,  churches,  theatres,  concert  halls,  exposition 
buildings,  libraries,  banks,  office  buildings  and  fac- 
tories, each  with  due  regard  to  position,  use  and  the 
accommodation  demanded. 

1  am  ready  to  consult  with  the  projectors  of  any 
or  ail  of  these  enterprises  and  to  prove  to  them 
conclusively  that  my  engagement  will  be  to  their 
interest  in  the  adapubility  of  the  designs  to  their 
requirements,  in  the  artistic  eiiects  which  will  be 
produced  and  in  the  economy  and  the  promptness 
with  which  they  will  be  carried  into  effect. 

We  are  living  in  a  period  of  unprecedented  pros- 
perity. The  harvests  throughout  the  land  during 
the  year  last  past  were  exceptionally  bountiful.  The 
promise  of  increase  in  all  branches  of  manufacture 
and  trade  is  most  encouraging.  There  was  never  a 
better  rime  than  the  oresent  to  arouse  the  public  to 
"a  realizing  sense  of  the  importance  <»i  the  improve- 
ments being  made  at  once.  There  was  never  a  bet- 
ter time  for  the  carrying  out  of  private  plans  for  the 
construction  of  important  buildings. 

The  modern  city-dweller,  unless  he  is  fortunate 
etwugh  to  reside  in  one  of  the  places  where  the 
beautiful  has  found  acceptance  as  a  necessity,  pos- 
itively suffers  from  the  monotony  of  his  environ- 
ment.  He  may  not  be  conscious  of  this  uiitil  be 
visits  a  more  favored  community  but  it  is  true, 
nevertheless.  The  Ancient  Athenians  and  the  Ro- 
mans of  the  later  republic  and  the  early  empire  un- 
derstood this.  The  Florentines  in  the  middle  ages 
provided  for  the  general  love  of  the  beautiful  and, 
as  we  have  stated,  modern  Paris  is  a  noble  example 
of  what  can  be  done  in  this  direction.  There  is  an 
ever  growing  demand  for  open  spaces,  flower  gard- 
ens, fountains  and  worthy  statues.  The  public  is  rap- 
idly becoming  more  and  more  appreciative  of  noble 
architecture  with  dignified  ornamentation  and  to  de- 
mand adequate  approaches  to  monumental  edifices. 
Civic  and  other  authorities  are  responding  to  this 
desire  and  there  is  a  fair  prospect  that  before  the 
present  generation  passes  from  the  scene  it  will  be 
privileged  to  behold  grandeur  where  there  is  now 
naught  but  the  commonplace,  and  to  feast  the  eyes 
on  beauty  where  there  is  at  this  time  only  ugliness. 
There  are  dilliculiies  in  the  way.  The  obstacles 
in  many  instances  will  not  be  readily  overcome,  but 
to  quote  again  the  Sage  oi  Concord.  "It  it  at  ttty 
to  twist  iron  anchors  and  braid  cannon  as  it  is  to 
braid  straw,  to  boil  granite  as  it  is  to  boil  water  ii 
you  take  all  the  steps  in  order.  Where  there  it 
failure  there  is  some  giddiness,  some  fear,  some 
superstition  about  luck,  some  step  omitted." 

The  first  step  to  be  taken  in  this  insunce  is  to 
communicate  with  me  by  letter  or  personal  inter- 
view. Authorize  me  to  make  the  necessary  invat- 
tigations  and  submit  preliminary  water-color  views, 
plans,  designs  and  estimatet.  The  other  steps  will 
l>e  taken  in  their  natural  courae.  Should  1  be  given

Dear  Sir:- 

In  the  August  number  of  "Woman's  Home 
Companion"  of  Sprinefield,  Ohio,  I  notice  a  full- 
page  iltuftrated  article  of  your  authorship  des- 
cribing our  new  home.  I  assure  yoo  we  think  we 
are  pardonable  in  again  expressing  the  satis- 
faction  that   our   new   home   gives   us. 

The  fact  that  we  are  owner  and  possessor  of 
(he    building    may    have    something    to.  do    with 


our   feeling,  but   prejudiced   or  not,   we   think   it 
the  handsomest  structure  of  its  cost  In  the  city. 
Sincerely  yours,

pays  for  the  work  seldom  knows  anything  about  any  part  of  it.  What  he 
wants  is  a  harmonized  combination.  If  he  is  wise  he  pays  a  man  who  is  ca- 
pable of  securing  this.  When  a  client  accepts  a  design  of  mine  with  orders 
to  superintend  the  work  from  start  to  finish  he  may  be  assured  that  from  foundation  to 
roof  everything  will  be  well  done.  The  stone-mason,  the  brick-layer,  the  tiler,  the  car- 
penter, the  glazier,  the  plumber  and  the  decorator  will  have  fulfilled  to  the  letter  the  con- 
tracts under  which  they  work.  I  am  the  harmonizer.  I  see  the  whole  where  others  see 
but  the  parts.    What  to  my  clients  is  a  posibilily  is  to  me  a  certainty.  —  i-lerbert  C.  Cbivers.

.FORE.THOUCHT     IN  BUILDING 


|UILD  on  the  past  cspcT" 
ience  and  new  ideas  oi  an 
architect  ol  national  repu- 
tation.  You  are  not 
building  ior  the  present  alone  but 
for  the  future.  Secure  the  best  de- 
signs and  plan  you  can  for  your 
money. 

More  money  has  been  wasted  in 
mistakes  and  blunders  in  building 
than  was  ever  paid  to  architects. 

You  probably  have  well-defined 
ideas  of  the  sort  of  house  you  want. 
There  are  features  you  now  intend 
to  insist  upon  and  which  you  have 
heretofore  missed  in  the  houses 
you  have  occupied.  Have  your  own 
way;  but  do  ix>t,  in  your  haste, 
t)uild  a  home  in  which  you  will  re- 
pent at  leisure  that  it  is  not  different 
This  need  not  occtir  if  you  let  me 
work  your  ideas  into  a  practical  plan 
and  produce  a  design  which  will 
meet  your  approval  and  your  purse. 

Many  who  are  about  to  build, 
being  inexperienced,  do  not  realize 
the  importance  of  securing  from  a 
thoroughly  qualified  architect  regu- 
larly drawn  plans.  They  content 
themselves  with  crude  outlines  pre- 
pared by  one  to  whom  architectxire 
is  not  a  fine  art,  but  merely  a  trade. 
The  restilts  are  coarse,  common- 
place and  unaatisfactory.  The 
money  paid  to  him  would  command 
the  services  oi  an  architectural  ex- 
pert possessed  of  a  thorough  knowl- 
edge of  what  has  been  done  and 
with  originality  enough  to  produce 
something  new. 

It  is  a  mistake  to  suppose  that 
practical  and  artistic  plana  drawn 
by  a  competent  architect  are  neces- 
sarily more  expensive  than  are  fool- 
ish plans,  amatuerish  plans,   incor- 


rect plans,  inartistic  plans  drawn  Dy 
some  incompetent  architect.  The 
one  would  be  certain  in  architectur- 
al effect,  the  other  common-place, 
experimental  and  dubious. 

The  essence  of  good  design  is  as 
much  in  the  details  of  construction, 
as  the  actual  plans,  and  this  is  where 
the  inexperienced  are  disappointed. 
The  plain  floor  plans,  exterior  views 
and  specifications  do  not  constitute 
complete  plans.  They  are  simply 
preliminary  to  the  important  detail- 
ed information  which  I  give  as  the 
work  progresses.  By  all  means 
employ  an  architect  who  works  for 
art's  sake  and  who  is  tmder  obliga- 
tion to  no  local  interests  except 
your  interests. 

The  special  instructions  in  the 
specifications  is  a  feature  the  value 
of  which  is  too  often  overlooked. 
Only  an  expert  architect  is  capable 
of  preparing  these  and  the  detailed 
drawings. 

I  cannot  give  to  your  plans  the 
study  and  considerations  they 
should  have  without  reasonable  as- 
surance of  payment  when  I  please 
you.  To  send  well-studied  designs 
and  exterior  views  without  this  as- 
surance is  a  speculative  chance 
which  I  am  unwilling  to  assume. 
My  time  is  given  to  clients  who 
place  their  orders  subject  to  the 
above  understanding.  I  then  pre- 
pare sketches  until  they  are  satisfied. 

You  place  your  order  with  me 
and  I  will  prepare  drawings  which 
shall  enable  you  to  determine  what 
kind  of  a  house  you  can  build  for  a 
given  sum.  I  am  an  expert  at  this 
work  and  my  services  will  cost 
you  no  more  than  those  ol  a  novice 
or  a  blunderer.

THE.  PUBLIC  VERDICT 

|OU  build  for  yourself  a  sky  scraper,  a  theatre,  a  hotel,  a  bank,  a  factory,  a 
store  or  a  home  the  passer-by  takes  possession  of  it  with  his  eye  and  claims 
it  as  his  to  behold.  It  is  to  him  the  city  as  he  sees  it.  You  become  known 
as  the  owner  of  the  building  and  it  is  to  your  credit  or  the  reverse.  I  have 
never  erected  a  building  for  a  client  which  did  not  redound  to  his  honor  as  a  beau- 
tifier  of  his  city.  The  public  verdict  on  my  work  is  every  time:  "This  building  looks 
goo4  to  ua."  — Herbert  C.  Chi  vers.

|Y  experience  in  designing  large  estates  throughout  the  coun- 
try has  necessitated  my  doing  the  landscape  work  in  con- 
nection with  same.  I  therefore  now  keep  regularly  in  my 
employ  a  competent  engineer  and  surveyor  and  can  furnish  real 
estate  agents,  municipalities  and  owners  of  country  estates  com- 
plete landscape  lay-outs.  By  reason  of  my  architectural  exper-

proper  setting  of  buildings  — HERBERT  C.  CHIVERS.

D«ar  Sir:— 

I  wish  to  say  that  I  am  much  pleased  with  the 
building  in  every  respect. 

I  do  not  believe  that  there  It  any  method  of 
treatment  which  gives  as  much  room  for  the  size 
of  the  foundation  as  this  docs  and  the 
arrangement  is  most  decidedly  artistic  as  well 
as  conveniently  arranged  with  reference  to  ser- 
vice, entertaining,  etc. 

There  was  not  one  cent  of  extra  work.  My 
contractors  said  is  was  the  hrst  plan  they  ever 
worked  from  in  which  they  did  not  find  a  single 
mistake. 

The   building   has   been   admired   by   many   and 
a  local  paper  ^poke  of  it  as  the  finest  home  on 
tbe  Heights      This  is  praise  indeed. 
Sincerely   yours, 

HARRIS    B.   STILES.

Dftar  Sir:— 

Your  request  in  reference  to  my  house,  for 
which  you  made  plans,  has  been  received,  and 
I  desire  to  thank  you  most  sincerely  for  the 
bcnefii  that  your  special  plans  and  advice  have 
been  to  me.  1  cannot  say  too  much  in  com- 
mendation of  your  services 

The  coniraciof  found  not  the  slightest  fault 
with  your  plan*,  and  he  commended  you  veiy 
highly,  especially  on  details  of  construction,  f 
can  clearly  see  now.  where  you  hsTc  saved  me 
the  actual  cost  of  plans,  many  times  over,  by 
the  ingenuity  with  which  you  economize  on 
space  and  materials. 

1  dfd  not  have  the  least  idea  t^at  I  could  do 
business  so  promptly  and  satikLactortly  with  a 
distaff  architect,  and  you  are  at  liberty  to  refer 
any  of  your  prospective  clients  to  me.  as  I  shall

THE  USE  OF  PLANS. 

Plans  are  to  be  used  but  once,  and  parties  purchasing  plans  of  this  office  are 
prlvlledged  to  build  only  one  building  from  them.  This  is  a  universal  rustom 
among  architects,  and  for  plans  used  a  second  time  we  are  entitled  to  3V4  per 
cent  on  the  total  cost  of  each  building  erected  from  them. 

Some  are  of  the  opinion  that  these  plans  may  be  nscd, provided  changes  are 
made,  but  where  It  can  be  shown  that  a  prospective  client  purchased  books  con- 
taining certain  Ideas  embodied  in  such  plans  as  may  be  built  from,  without 
payment  to  the  originator  it.  Is  sufficient  evidence  on  which  to  prosecute.  This 
notice  Is  simply  to  protect  those  who  might  endeavor  to  use  "Ignorance  of  the 
law"  as  an  excuse  for  duplicating  plans. 

It  is  admitted,  even  by  many  architects,  that  the  facilities  of  this  office  to 
pr^fduce  practical  plans  and  artistic  designs  is  superior  to  that  of  any  other  Id 
the  United  States. 

If  any  of  our  stock  plans  should  exceed  estimate  I  will  exchange  them  with- 
in 10  days  after  shipping  f<ir  any  other  plans  of  less  cost  which  I  may  have  In 
stock,  if  r*turnc>d  in  good  shape,  for  $2  additional.  _Q  t^  A  —

you  are  very  complete  and  you  have  carried  out 
my  ideas  very  clearly.  I  think  it  is  going  to

The  plans  have  been  favorably  commented

understand  how  to  carry  out  the  details  of  col- 
onial  work 'correctly.

THE,  MODE,RN  CHURCH 


|KE  mo<3ern  church  it  iwt  a  mere  meeting  house  nor  is  it  excluiively  t  place  of  worship.  l\ 
in  inttitution  where  many  irucrests  center.  Architects  who  (oilow  the  old  models  and  ai- 
I  tempt  to  add  on  the  library,  the  comminee  room,  the  reception  room,  the  parlors  arid  the 
I  kitchen  and  to  include  the  various  Sunday  School  rooms  and  the  pastor's  study  produce  patch 
'  work.  The  exterior  is  incongruous  and  the  interior  inconvenienL  The  design  for  any  ctruc* 
tion  should  be  bated,  not  on  convention  but  on  requirements.  A  medieval  Gothic  Catfiedral  or  parish 
church  met  the  demands  of  the  time  but  wouM  be  hopelessly  inadequate  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  pres- 
ent, that  is  in  a  moderate-cost  structure.  When  I  am  fiven  an  order  for  a  church  I  inform  myself 
thoroughly  as  to  the  purposes  tor  which  it  is  to  be  used,  the  meetings,  other  than  the  re^lar  rclicious 
services,  to  be  held,  and  then,  according  to  the  amount  appropriated  for  the  building.  I  plan  the  ar- 
rangement ol  the  auditorium  artd  the  various  apartments  with  a  view  nM  only  to  securing  perfect  ac- 
commodation but  to  insurif\g  the  noblest  architectural  effect  m  the  entire  structure.  Trustees,  com* 
minees  and  pastors  having  in  charge  the  securing  of  designs  lor  a  new  church  building  will  do  well  to 
communicate  with  me  ai  1  have  made  a  special  study  of  ecclesiastical  architecture  ol  al!  periods,  and  1 
have  devoted  myself  especially  to  the  adaptation  to  modem  needs  ol  the  various  styles  associated  with 
religious  uses.  — Herbert  C.  Olivers.

THE  FREE  SKETCH  IDEA. 
The  profeesion  of  arcbltectnre  has  been  cheapened  somewhat  by  the  practice 
aom«  architects  have  made  of  sending  out  free  sketches.  When  an  architect  has 
come  to  this  in  order  to  secnre  work,  it  Is  reftsonably  certain  that  he  will  take 
the  easiest  way  to  please  yon,  inasmuch  as  he  will  not  make  any  eflTort  to  im- 
prove upon  your  ideas.  When  yon  go  to  an  architect  a  lawyer,  or  a  doctor,  yoa 
do  not  always  care  for  him  to  coincide  exactly  with  your  ideas:  Tou  want  ad- 
ranced  Ideas,  suggestions  and  consctentlons  advise.  Now  with  the  "free  sketch 
architect."  he  Is  after  nn  early  adoption  of  plan,  usually  an  anti-dated  stock  plan 
at  that,  or  a-  poor  original  made  by  cheap  help.  We  wonid  rather  sell  special 
plans  as  we  like  to  Improve  on  ^very  Job  turned  out  and  even  on  our  past  work. 
It  stands  to  reason  that  no  reputable  architect  can  Improve  his  work  when  he 
copies  one  Job  after  another.

Mural  Decoration 


I  MONO  savage  nations, 
so  the  Ethnologists  tell 
us,  decoration  precedes 
dress.  Primitive  peo- 
ple paint  their  bodies  before  they 
think  of  clothing  them.  There 
seems  to  be  among  all  races  an 
instinctive  love  oi  color  and 
form.  In  dress,  among  the  most 
highly  civilized  human  beings, 
this  display  is  principally  con- 
fined to  the  women.  The  con- 
ventional male  costume  being 
limited  to  dull  shades  and  not 
being  especially  graceful  in  out- 
line. But  the  man  who  creates 
a  home  has  an  opportunity  to 
exhibit  his  taste  in  decoration. 
No  matter  bow  critical  his  judg- 
ment or  how  delicate  his  apprec- 
iation of  values  he  is  almost  cer- 
tain to  disappoint  himself  and 
all  beholders  imless  he  consults 
his  architect  and  obtains  profes- 
sional advice  on  this  important 
subject.  The  painting  oi  the  ex- 
terior of  a  wooden  house  from 
porch  to  roof,  coloring  is  not  a 
matter  to  be  lightly  considered. 
The  color  scheme  must  be    har- 


monious and  few  indeed  are  they 
who,  not  having  given  the  sub- 
ject serious  and  profound  con- 
sideraticn,  are  capable  of  pro- 
ducing the  proper  effects. 

The  interior  requires  still  sub- 
tler thought.  The  shape  of  the 
room,  tne  size  of  the  room,  the 
lighting  of  the  room,  the  purpos- 
es for  which  the  room  is  to  be 
used  must  all  receive  the  most 
careful  attention. 

In  consulting  with  my  clients 
on  this  subject  I  endeavor  to  em- 
body their  ideas,  when  they  are 
not  too  incongruous,  and  to  con- 
vince them  that  certain  modifi- 
cations will  greatly  improve  the 
result.  This  I  seldom  have  dif- 
ficulty in  doing  as  my  experience 
in  interior  and  exterior  house 
decoration  in  stone,  brick,  tiling, 
wood-carving  and  color  has  been 
so  extensive  and  so  effective 
that  I  am  able  to  please  the  most 
fastidious  and  especially  to  grat- 
ify the  ever  increasing  number 
of  house  and  church  builders 
who  desire  something  original, 
something  different  from  any- 
thing they  have  ever  seen.

CONFUSING  THE,  CLIENT. 

3  HERE  is  in  every  prolession,  art  and  irade  certain  terms  more  or  less  clearly  understood  by 
1  the  practiiioner.  but  frequently  conlusing  to  the  client.  Architects  are  not  entirely  free  Irom 
the  (ailing  of  trying  to  impress  their  patrons  by  employmg  technical  expressions  meaning- 
leas  to  the  average  person  abou(  to  build.  Tbey  rattle  on  glibly  about  "Early  Norman."  "Mid- 
dle English."  '"Tudor  Gothic."  "Elizabethan"  and  "Gccrgian."  They  introduce  the  French 
and  Italian  Renaissance  and  medieval  German,  in  a  way  which  makes  the  listener's  head  swim.  They 
discourse  at  length  upon  the  line  points  of  dilierencc  between  "New  England,  New  York  and  Virgmia 
Colonial."  If  a  church  is  under  consideration  the  commiitj:^  is  bewildered  by  the  rapid  consideration  ol 
Grecian,  Rom:>n,  Byzantine  and  the  various  styles  of  Gothic  architecture.  Now  all  this  is  repreheasible 
nonsense  confusing  a  clierK  with  such  architectural  lechnic.  I  have  matie  it  a  rule  to  be  sure  that  my 
client  Will  understand  the  meaning  ol  the  terms  I  employ  m  talking  to  them.  I  illusuate  every  example 
Cited  and  when  they  place  the  Drder  for  the  design  they  know  which  to  expect,  except  o*  course, 
where  the  matter  is  left  entirely  in  my  hands  and  then  ii  is  unnecessary  to  bother  their  heads  about 
that  which  does  not  interest  them.     Ii  is  teeulis  that  they  want  not  words.  — Herbert  C.  Cbivcrs.

THE  NECESSI'fY  OF  PLANS. 
It  Is  very  necessary  that  you  have  complete  working  drawings,  and  above 
all,  legally  worded  .spi'ciflcatlons.  It  excites  competition  among  tlie  builders,

WHEN  ADVICE  IS  OK  VALUE. 
When  one  contemplntrs  buildlnR,  it  is  in  the  cMrly  stages  of  the  enterprise 
that  the  architect  should  lie  solectod.  Tlic  .idvioc  iind  ex|)erlence  of  a  trust- 
worthy architect  should  be  scured  hy  all  nx-.-ins.  Do  noi  expect  an  architect  to 
put  his  best  ideas  on  paper  for  you.  unless  you  have  a  positive  dndcrstandlDg 
with  him  that  he  Is  to  do  the  work.  I'nrtles  who  struggle  along  themselves  with 
all  the  preliminary  work  and  later  on.  employ  the  architect  do  not  secure  full 
services.  The  most  valuable  portion  of  a  plan,  nnd  often  its  most  vital  points 
are  rendered  during  its  embryotic  period.

SELECTING  AN  ARCHITECT 

HERSERT  c.    C~'VC»S 

_BRCHITECTURE  is  an  Art  and  it 
1^)^  is  one  oi  the  noblest  of  all  Arts 
because  it  alone  joins  beauty  and 
aesthetic  appreciation  with  u:e 
more  practical  and  urgent  needs  of  life. 
It  is  the  business  of  the  architect  both 
to  obtain  pleasing  and  artistic  effects 
and  at  the  same  time  to  serve  the  many 
necessities  of  man  in  the  best  possible 
manner.  The  architect  labors  under  a 
tesponsibiiity  which  is  not  felt  by  any 
other  artist;  if  the  musician  strikes  a  wrong 
note  or  the  painter's  colors  fade,  the  con- 
sequences are  neither  serious  nor  far- 
reaching,  but  when  the  architect  makes  a 
blunder  it  is  bound  to  cause  trouble,  often 
heavy  expense,  and  sometimes  even  Joss 
of  life. 


"Some  men  drift  into  a  thing,  and,  ir.  it, 
keep  on  drifting." — Anon. 


SHERE  are  incompetents  and  mis- 
fits among  architects  just  as  there 
are  in  every  other  vocation— men 
who  have  no  natural  fitness  for 
their  work,  men  who  do  not  feel  the 
responsibility  of  their  positions,  men 
who  look  at  architecture  from  a  purely 
commercial  standpoint  and  hence  perform 
their  duties  without  any  artistic  sense  of 
what  they  are  doing  or  any  real  interest  in 
it  other  than  their  fee.  These  men  are 
able  to  get  along  in  their  profession  be- 
cause their  patrons  have  neither  the  train- 
ing nor  the  experience  to  detect  the  inferior 
quality  of  their  work  until  after  the  build- 
ing is  completed  and  it   is   then    too  late. 


have  known  some  beautiful  hall  or  audi- 
torium to  be  ruined  because  of  its  poor 
acoustic  properties  or  some  elaborate 
building  to  stand  unfinished  because  the 
expense  greatly  exceeded  the  orif^inal  es- 
timates. Such  inexcusable  blunders  are 
the  fault  of  the  man  who  makes  the  plans 
•Dd  it  seems  very  strange  that  a  client  will 
sometimes  balk  over  the  amount  of  an 
architect's  fees  when  he  must  entrust  to 
the  latter  very  largely  the  success  of  the 
considerable  investment  which  he  is  about 
to  make. 

"Who  sees  only  the  first  outlay, will  live, 
to  have  more  bills  to  pay." — Anon. 

I  HE  best  services  of  the  best 
architect  will  prove  the  most  eco- 
nomical because  he  will  save  his 
client  the  amount  of  his  fee  many 
times  over  in  the  cost  of  material,  the  pre- 
vention of  waste,  and  the  niceties  in  (it  and 
finish.  Mamy  hundred  times  more  money 
has  been  spent  in  builders'  blunders  than 
has  ever  been  paid  in  architects  fees. 
The  economy  of  an  architect's  services 
does  not  necessarily  end  with  the  com- 
pletion of  the  building.  For  instance,  in 
his  arrangements  for  the  heating  and  ven- 
tilation, an  architect  can  effect  a  big  saving 
in  the  amount  of  your  fuel  bill.  The  se- 
lection of  an  architect  touches  your  com- 
fort, your  health,  your  convenience,  your 
taste  and  your  purse,  as  well  as  your 
safety.  He  must  be  an  artist,  designer, 
constructionest,  landscapist  and  lawyer, 
besides  being  a  master  of  all  the  building 
trades  and  arts.  If  it  were  a  matter  of 
covering  any  one  of  these  points,  almost 
anyone  could  draw  the  plans  successfully, 
but  to  adjust  and  combine  all  of  these  es- 
sentials into  one  harmonious  and  satis- 
factory whole,  demands  a  natural  aptitude, 
•n  expert  training,  and  a  wide  experience 
oa  the  part  of  the  architect. 


"Calamityl  which  is  the  perfect  glass 
wherein  we  truly  seA  and  Imow  ctu^ 
•elves."— Sir  W.  Davenport. 

I  HEN  some  great  disaster  to  life 
and  property  is  caused  by  faulty 
plans,  it  is  easy  for  everyone  to 
realize  the  importance  of  the 
architect's  part  in  building,  but  the  effects 
of  bis  work  are  felt  in   many   ways.     You 


"Quoth  Hudibnut,  'I  smell  a  rat.' " 

— Butici. 

I  HE  selection  of  an  architect 
should  be  made  solely  with  ref- 
erence to  his  ability.  A  genial 
smile,  a  hearty  handshake,  a 
slap  on  the  back,  are  all  very  pleasing  but 
they  do  not  require  any  particular  knowl- 
edge of  architecture  and  they  do    not    pay 

-ion- 


lor  mistakes  in  building.  To  secure  work, 
not  by  merit,  but  by  flattering,  cozening, 
jollying  pethods  is  just  a  mild  species  of 
bribery.  The  truth  of  the  matter  is  that 
no  architect  can  become  a  master  of  his 
art  without  the  closest  attention  and  most 
persistent  application  to  his  work.  When 
a  man  "camps  on  your  trail"  and  makes  it 
a  point  to  be  a  "good  fellow"  wherever 
there  is  a  dollar  in  sight,  either  his  serv- 
ices are  not  very  much  in  demand  or  his 
work  is  suffering  neglect  by  reason  of  not 
receiving  his  personal  attention.  A  busy 
architect  who  does  conscientious  work  and 
keeps  abreast  of  bis  profession  has  no  time 
for  personal  solicitation. 

"Frieod^ip  is  no  plant  of  hasty  growth." 
— ^Joanae  Bailie. 

HE  selection  of  an  architect  Is 
not  a  matter  of  friendship  nor  of 
any  other  sentiment^  it  is  a  mat- 
ter of  business  pure  and  simple. 
It  makes  little  difference  whether  an  archi- 
tect smiles  or  frowns,  whether  he  be  tall 
or  abort,  an  American  or  a  Prencbman, 
the  one  question  which  really  and  vitally 
concerns  the  builder  is:  "Which  architect 
can  by  reason  of  his  equipment,  experience, 
general  preparedness  and  proved  ability 
render  me  the  most  able  and  aatislactory 
•ervice?" 

"Cudgel  thy  brains  no  more  about  it." 

— Shakespeare. 

I  HE  client  naturally  wonder*  bow 
he  is  to  determine  this  question. 
Some  presume  that  an  architect 
ought  to  enter  into  competition 
for  a  job.  This  is  unfair  to  the  architect 
for  the  reason  that  important  ideas  are 
given  in  the  preliminary  plans  and  no 
architect  can  afford  to  give  his  best  ideas 
or  to  spend  his  time  and  thought  in  com- 
petitive work  as  he  can  when  he  knows 
that  his  services  will  be  paid  lor  if  satis- 
factory. However,  in  most  instances  the 
competitive  system  compels  an  architect 
to  take  the  easiest  means  to  please  which 
does  not  always  mean  the  best  interest  of 
the  client.  My  work  is  taken  on  condition 
that  I  give  entire  satisfaction  in  the  pre- 
liminary or  pencil  sketches,  before  making 
the  completed  plans  or — no  pay.  This 
saves  the  time  of  both  owner  and  architect 
and  is  a  much  more  satisfactory  arrange- 
ment all  around. 


I  HE  best  way  to  judge  of  what  a 
roan  can  do  is  to  ascertain  what 
he  has  done  and  there  is  no  bet- 
ter criterion  than  this  in  select- 
ing an  architect  My  clientele  is  by  far 
the  largest  of  any  in  the  country,  having 
platuied  many  churches,  schools  and  office 
buildings,  etc.  in  all  states  of  the  Union  and 
many  parts  of  Canada.  My  drafting  fore* 
consists  of  the  best  and  cighest-salaried 
men  and  the  volume  of  my  husiness  in  the 
last  three  years  has  been  sufficient  tc  keep 
five  expert  stenographers  continually  busy. 
Only  the  merit  of  an  architect's  services 
can  suffice  to  build  up  a  business  of  this 
kind.  I  shall  be  glad  to  furnish  any  in- 
quirer with  a  list  of  buildings  which  I  have 
planned  and  any  other  information  which 
may  serve  as  a  basis  of  judgment.  I  am 
giving  ten  cardinal  points  which  I  have 
strictly  observed  in  my  work  and  to  which 
my  unprecedented  success  is  largely  due. 

"I  will   a   round   unvarnished  tala  de- 
liver,"— Shakespeare. 


ENDEAVOR  to  give  as  much 
scope  as  possible  to  individual 
taste  and  preference.  In  build- 
ing a  home  for  personal  occupa- 
tion, individuality  is  especially  desirable 
as  everyone  has  his  own  ideas  of  the  kind 
of  house  he  wants  and  it  is  my  aim  to 
conform  to  the  client's  preferences  in  the 
plans  as  far  as  consistent  with  his  own 
best  interests.  There  are  times,  however, 
when  I  can  serve  a  client  better  by  not 
giving  him  just  what  he  fancies  he  wants 
and  in  such  cases  I  prefer  to  disappoint 
him  a  little  in  the  preliminary  plan*  in 
order  that  I  m»y  please  him  considerably 
better  in  the  final  result. 


j  HERE  the  money  available  for 
building  has  been  limited,  I  bavs 
had  the  greatest  success  in  sat- 
isfying my  clients.  To  know 
where  and  how  to  economize  without  too 
great  a  sacrifice  of  the  desired  results  is  • 
matter  of  special  study.  Property  owners 
having  unimproved  grounds  or  buildings 
which  they  desire  to  improve  will  do  well 
to  talk  the  matter  over  with  me  at  my  of- 
-1012- 


lice  and  see  wh«t  can  be  done  in  the  way  ot 
building  with  a  piven  aura.  The  lact 

that  I  never  go  outaide  of  my  office  after 
work  enables  me  to  do  well  ttie  work  at 
band,  besides  keeping  myself  thoro- 
ughly schooled  in  the  latest  and  best  de- 
velopments in  architectural  and  building 
lines. 

|NE  of  the  greatest  factors  in  my 
success  is  the  fact  that  I  have 
surrounded  myself  with  a  per- 
manent, progressive  and  efficient 
corps  of  assistants— each  one  a  specialist 
and  expert.  This  I  have  accomplished  by 
employing  only  the  highest-salaried  men 
and  stimulating  them  to  their  best  eifortc 
by  putting  a  premium  on  expettness. 

iTRiCT  adherence  to  business 
methods  and  the  systematic  or- 
ganization of  my  force  have  en- 
abled me  always  to  get  my  work 
out  quickly  and,  as  the  owners  time  is 
usually  of  considerable  value,  this  is  quite 
essential.  When  I  take  charge  of  the  con- 
struction, I  complete  a  twenty-thousand 
dollar  structure  in  three  months  less  time 
than  ordinarily.  Such  a  building  with  the 
lot  would  perhaps  represent  a  twenty-five 
thousand  dollar  investment,  and  if  the  in- 
come of  the  property  were  16  per  cent 
this  alone  wotild  be  an  item  of  4  per  cent 
for  three  months'  time  saved  or  $1000. 

HAVE  no  pet  notions  or  theor- 
ies; 1  have  made  myself  a  roaster 
of  all  the  building  trades  and  I 
attempt  nothing  that  is  not  thoro- 
ughly approved  and  practical.  In  order  to 
speciiy  and  write  building  contracts  prop- 
erly an  architeci  must  be  well  versed  in 
business  and  building  laws  and  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  such  laws  has  enabled  me  to 
save  my  clients  endless  complications 
and  expense. 


a 

MAKE  ample  provisions  for 
any  desired  changes  in  construct- 
ion without  unnecessary  expense 
as  the  work  of  building  progress- 
es. When  the  construction  work  is  placed 
in  my  hands,  I  insure  the  owner  against 
liens  or  the  misappropriation  of  funds  and 
the  unanticipated  drain  of  unnecessary  ex- 
tras. 


I  O  matter  whether  a  building  is 
modest  or  elaborate,  as  far  as 
possible  I  endeavor  to  work  for 
art's  sake  and  to  make  it  as  beau- 
tiful and  symmetrical  as  the  means  will 
allow.  This  is  not  altogether  a  matter  of 
taste,  for  the  appearance  of  a  building 
largely  affects  its  value  should  you  wish 
to  dispose  of  it 

10, 

Y  terms  are  H'low  as  consistent 
with  the  very  best  work:  1  per 
cent  of  the  cost  of  building,  for 
preliminary  1-8  inch  scale  plans; 
3  1-2  per  cent  for  olana  and  specifications; 
1  per  cent  for  detail  drawing,  S  per  cent 
for  complete  plans,  specifications,  details 
■sd  superintendence  and  the  taking  of  bids 
from  general  contractors;  12  1-2  per  cent 
for  complete  services  including  the  taking 
of  sub-bids,  sub-letting,  paying  all  bills 
and  collecting  at  certain  intervals  from  the 
owner;  or  10  per  cent  for  such  services 
when  the  owner  is  wilting  to  receive  the 
sub-bids  and  pay  bills  himself  on  the  archi- 
tect's order.  My  success  is  due  not  to 
the  aise  of  my  fees,  but  to  the  size  of  my 
clientele,  and  that  in  turn  is  due  to  the 
general  satisfaction  I  have  .  been  able  to 
give  my  patron*. 

PREPAREDNESS  t»  th«  Mcret  of   my 
•uccess. 


|Y  patrons  have  always  found  my 
estimates  of  cost  to  be  accurate 
and  reliable.  An  architect  can- 
not be  too  careful  or  conscien- 
tious in  making  his  estimates  as  it  is 
usually  desired  to  erect  a  building  for  a 
certain  sum  and  considerable  embarrass- 
ment is  sometimes  caused  when  that 
amount  is  exceeded.  In  certain  cases 
where  desired,  I  will  make  guaranteed  es- 
timates of  complete  cost.

QUAINT 

PICTURESQUE 

CHURCHES 


QUAINT  picturesque  churches,  such  as  you  find  in  all  parts 
of  England,  enhance  by  age.  Many  American -planned 
churches  are  flashy,  and  unchurchly  in  outline,  overdone  in 
cheap  ornamentation,  and  loud  in  decoration.  The  church  archi- 
tects of  olden  times  depended  on  pure  simple  outlines,  rather 
than  excessive  ornamentation,  and  when  they  did  ornament,  it 
was  done  of  a  material  which  indicated  its  worth. 


TO  THE,     BISHOPS 

AND 


OTHER  CLE.RGY

k 


^v. 


[  PON  you  devolves  from  time 
to  time  the  erection  oi  suit- 
able ediiices  adapted  to  the 
needs  and  dignity  of  dicoese 
or  parish  and  reflecting  in  some  meas- 
ure your  own  devotion  and  that  of  your 
communicants. 

Whether  you  are  about  to  build  a 
cathedral,  a  parish  church,  a  college,  a 
parochial  school  or  a  residence  for  the 
clergy  you  want  a  design  characterized 
by  good  taste  and  abstemious  of  ill- 
conditional  details. 

You  want  a  plan  which  provides 
adequately  for  the  purposes  to  which 
the  structure  is  to  be  dedicated,  with 
room  for  the  number  of  persons  which 
it  may  reasonably  be  expected  to  ac- 
commodate. 

I  have  made  a  thorough  and  pains- 
taking study  of  ecclesiastical  archi- 
tecture in  all  the  phases  of  its  develop- 
ment from  the  beginning  of  the  Christ- 
ian era  down  to  the  present  time  and 
am  therefore  prepared  to  submit  plans 
and  designs  either  in  the  pure  or  modi- 
fied gothic  or  upon  original  outlines 
of  my  own. 

Ruskin  tells  us  that  "We  want  no 
n«w  style  in  architecture,  but  we  do 
want  Some  style.  There  seems  to  be 
a  wonderful  misunderstanding  among 
our  architects  as  to  the  very  notion  and 
meaning  of  originality.  A  man  who 
has  the  gift  will  take  up  any  style    and 


work  in  that  and  be  g^eat  in  that.' 

I  have  demonstrated  in  so  many 
cases  that  I  have  this  particular  gift 
that  you  are  safe  in  entrusting  to  me 
whatever  work  you  may  have  in  mind. 
It  was  an  observant  poet  who  wrote 
of  the  work  of  the  ungifted  ecclesiastic- 
al architect,  when  he  said: 

"Windows  and    doors    in 

nameless  fancy  drest. 

With  order,  symmetry  and 

taste  imblest. 

Forms  like  some  bedlam 

builder's  dream 

The    craz'd     creation     of 

misguided  whim." 

You  do  not  want  anything  which  de- 
serves that  description,  but  rather: 

"An  architecture  considered  as  a  fine 
art,  so  disposing  and  adorning  the  edi- 
fice,  for  whatsoever  ol  the  uses  of  man 
it  is  reared,  that  the  sight  of  jt  contrib- 
utes  to  his  mental  health,  power  and 
pleasure." 

Communicate  with  me  then,  either  in 
person  or  by  letter.  State  your  plans 
clearly  so  far  as  you  have  formulated 
them  and  be  assured  not  only  oi  my 
hearty  sympathy  and  co-operation  with 
your  own  intentions  but  of  my  ability 
to  so  arrange,  beautify  ai>d  elaborate 
your  plans  that  for  the  sum  to  be  ex- 
pended the  results  will  far  exceei!  your 
highest  expectations.

HERBERT   C.   CHIVERS   CO 


ARCHITECTS 


PROCLAMATION 

WHEREAS,  the  professional  practice  oi  Herbert  C.  Chivers,  has  grown 
to  such  enormous  proportions  and  encroached  so  much  upon  bis  individ- 
ual time  that  it  is  only  possible  ior  him  to  give  the  positive  orders  on 
hand  his  personal  attention,  and 

WHEREAS,  the  public  is  constantly  solicited  by  numerous  cheap-plan 
concerns  who  style  themselves  as  architects,  who  employ  cheap  help  and 
oiler  free  sketches,  merely  drawing  out  the  client's  ideas  without  advancing 
any  valuable  new  ideas  oi  their  own  and  also  by  carpenter-architects  and 
architects  oi  limited  experience,  novices,  etc.,  and 

WHEREAS,  the  said  Herbert  C.  Chivers  wishing  to  meet  the  needs  of 
those,  and  those  only,  who  are  most  appreciative  oi  bis  artistic  skill  and 
store  oi  plan  iniormation  and  to  give  the  work  at  hand  his  undivided  indi- 
vidual attention,  and 

WHEREAS,  an  architect's  ideas  are  bis  stock-in-trade,  his  plans,  sketch- 
es, etc.,  conveying  valuable  ideas,  and  as  good  ideas  represent  matured 
study  and  time,  it  is  unreasonable  and  inconsistent  to  expect  of  him  to 
gratuitously  discuss  plan  arrangements  or  submit  sketches  on  approval,  and 

WHEREAS,  such  ideas  when  sent  out  upon  approval  are  often  unwit- 
tingly used  by  even  the  most  reliable  people,  without  considering  their  ac- 
tual source  of  ofigirxality,  or  with  any  intention  of  paying  for  same,  and  as 
the  said  Herbert  C.  Chivers'  regular  unsolicited  practice  or  orders  which 
come  through  his  works  occupy  his  entire  time. 

THEREFORE,  the  said  Herbert  C.  Chivers  does  herewith  positively 
bind  himself  to  give  his  individual  attention  to  all  bona  fide  orders  for 
plans  when  accompanied  by  a  cash  deposit  and  to  not  hereafter  consume 
any  portion  of  his  time  in  the  soliciting  of  new  business,  which  personal 
time  he  feels  rightfully  belongs  to  his  clients 

THEREFORE,  be  it  further  stated,  that  as  heretofore,  Work  which  he 
has  on  hand  or  underway  shall  in  no  instance  be  laid  aside  for  prospective 
business.  All  inquiries,  however,  shall  receive  careful,  prompt  and  court- 
eous attention  from  his  corps  of  very  able  assistants,  who  lor  years  past 
he  has  been  training  to  the  work. 

BE  IT  UNDERSTOOD,  that  this  statement  is  not  issued  with  a  view  to 
discouraging  business  but  the  sole  purpose  is  to  convince  and  thoroughly 
satisfy  his  clients  of  to-day  and  those  who  shall  become  bis  clients  io 
future  that  their  work,  and  their  work  only,  shall  receive  hit  personal 
attention. 

AND  BE  IT  FURTHER  UNDERSTOOD,  that  in  issuing  this  procU- 
mation  he  does  not  wish  to  discourage  any  inquirer  from  seeking  informa- 
tion regarding  probable  cost  of  building,  etc.,  but  on  the  other  hand,  to 
make  a  frank  open  statement  to  the  effect  that  sketches  or  letters  which  are 
not  accompanied  by  a  remittance  or  some  very  substantial  evidence  of 
good  faith  and  marked  "personal"  will  not  receive  his  personal  attention. 

Given  this  day  under  hit  hand  and  seal  and  signed
